Napoli will play Udinese at the Maradona on 24.05.2026 in what is being billed as the last league game at the stadium, and it will also be Antonio Conte’s final match in charge of the club. The Napoli coach is leaving after the game, ending a two-year spell that brought one scudetto, one Supercoppa and qualification for the Champions League.
Conte wants Napoli to finish second in the league, and a draw would be enough to secure that place. Even so, he prefers to go out with a win in front of the Maradona crowd, where the club will close its league season with one more chance to mark the end of an era on home turf.
Udinese arrive with 50 points already on the board and with their best season in 13 years in Friuli. That gives the match a different edge for the visitors, who have already protected their position and can leave Naples without the pressure that usually hangs over the final day.
The backdrop makes the fixture larger than a routine season finale. Napoli are not just chasing a result; they are trying to complete Conte’s last league assignment with the strongest finish available, while the club also starts to look beyond a coach who has delivered silverware and Champions League qualification in a short, successful run.
For Udinese, the trip is a reward for consistency across the campaign. For Napoli, it is a farewell with a target still in place. Conte has already given the club major success in two years, but this last league game at the Maradona is where that chapter closes, with the manager still asking for one more win before he walks away.
